Episode notes
Build Tokenization From The U.S. Market
- The U.S. is the natural place to build tokenization because it hosts the largest, most regulated capital markets.
- Regulation creates trust and capital, making the U.S. the right base for global tokenization companies.
Early Tokenized Venture Fund Experiment
- Securitize first tokenized a venture fund in 2017 expecting improved liquidity from faster settlement.
- That thesis didn't fully pan out because underlying illiquid assets remain illiquid even if settlement is easier.
Tokenization Upgrades Fragmented Ledgers
- Every capital markets transaction updates multiple ledgers and intermediaries create inefficiency and cost.
- Upgrading to superior ledger technology (public blockchains) can reduce intermediaries, speed transfers, and broaden access.
